Sgt_Anzac Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm currently updating some old maps I made a long time ago and remaking some old scenarios. A lot of things have happened in the map editor since I last used it. I have found and odd problem that i can't really find a solution to. I searched the forums but have been unable to find any topics covering it. Trees in a woodland tile are sunk into the ground about 2 meters, and the trunk of the trees can not be seen , only the branches are above ground. Single trees placed however are normal. in the attached picture the trees are all of the same type, the one on the right is the single tree. Is there a way to fix this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond_Villian Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 This may be an editor anomaly (for want of a better term). I suggest you try loading the map in the Mission Editor and see if its the same there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jartsev Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 When it comes to woods, trees at their edges are scaled down and sunk into ground intentionally, but, guess, this is not quite right for some types of trees and needs some investigation. But at this point, if woodland tile was utilized to replicate group if individual trees, it could be better to replace it with individual trees... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh yes, that was the problem, looking further into larger areas of woods they are not sunk into the ground a few tiles in. Thanks! Now I only need to find a fitting tree that does not become a huge buch that covers any sight into the wooded areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted March 3, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 3, 2021 This is not a bug, but I can help explain so that hopefully it makes more sense. So basically, the way it works is - some trees sink and some do not, this is by design. However, they only sink if used as a forest tile (not when placed as individual trees). Then, within that, if the sinking trees occur only on the edge of forests. So, if you have painted a single pixel of forest in this case, then it is treating it as the "edge", and so they sink. If you paint a larger forest, then the sinking would only be on the edge. Now whether they should be sinking in some of these cases is another matter, but its subjective (not everyone will agree). In the mean time, try panting larger forests or use the single "Tree" object rather than a pixel of forest tile. Hope that helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Anzac Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 My main problem was the sinking trees at the edges of woods, it caused some issues with infantry and LOS in a mission. I fixed it by changing the type of tree to one that has a bit more trunk to it. Thanks for all the help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
